A gut-wrenching story fuelled by almost-too-real character dynamics, in which the subtext and implied off-stage action pack just as much of a punch of the given dialogue. Painful yet beautifully written, this play is hopeful on an individual level but pessimistic on a societal one.

A very good character driven coming of age story, both heartbreaking and beautiful.

A wonderful play. It gives voice to a life lived by many in rural Wales, without judgement and with complete empathy. Still, it refuses to shy away from the issues at hand

I had to put down this play in parts and take a breath. Instant 5 stars. Such an arresting price of drama (on paper). I was just moved by the storytelling, the honesty, empathy, disgust and humanity.
